Trivial question - We need only one photocopy of the documents (passport/naturalizationcert etc) right?

Yes only one self attest photocopy of the documents.

if possible why not self-attest to avoid any issues. while CGI london does not mention this but CGI birmingham clearly says the same. http://www.cgibirmingham.org/index.php?option=com_pages&id=10 The documents enclosed with the application should be self attested.

Can we not use black stamp pad for the thumb impression.

Sorry one more question. What happens to the second photograph, do we have to submit it or just one pasted on the application is enough.

Also see the link below:

Gives all information for surrender and OCI.

Only photocopy of LIUK submitted. I still have my original. That is the whole point of applying via NCS.

And can anyone help with the fees and method of payment?

Thanks

Surrender certificate should not take more than a week either for postal/VFS
OCI is about 6 weeks from what I heard.

Yes you can. I used the same person.

Thanks Jambo

Surely the letter states anything that may be needed. So many questions on this Forum would not be asked, if the authorities only ask for what is mentioned on the guidelines/letters.

Hi All,

I would like to confirm what all documents we need to carry for the Passport Interview, apart from the confirmation letter.
